4 deep secrets your metadata can tell you to improve security

Cybercriminals have multiple tactics when breaking into networks, leading security pros to pull logs, triage endpoints, and piece together disparate data. In many cases the data they want just isn’t available. How do you simplify this? Metadata.

Metadata is data that describes the key attributes of other data. This data is collected and stored to analyze your network traffic in real time so you can find (and stop) attacks that you would never have been able to discover otherwise.

Metadata gathered from your network can capture more than 90% of the useful data that a full packet capture system would at 20% of the cost.
